Show off your Desktop (August 05)

Of course to have true transparencies you have to enable xcomposite which for some reason won't behave on my system.

I don't think it is just you :)

 

Every time I ever run it on a box, it explodes X, and it isn't my hardware.

Lowe, I do not think you are correct in saying that one has to install all of kdegraphics just to ge ksnapshot. I have ksnapshot, kpdf and kview but I DO NOT have kdegraphics installed and never have done.

There are some parts of kde that do require installing all of that part just to get the one feature you want, but kdegraphics is not one of them.

See the two snapshots and you will see what I mean. Note that package-installation says there is no kdegraphics installed.

 

Cheers. John.

Here's my ugly desktop.....I like my BG picture though.

 

As you can see I am using the dinky sysmon and weather piece for gnome. I'd like the expanded flavors that Bossieman and FX have.

I really like what they did to nautilus it's a lot easier to browse files with now.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

err.... a browser w/o an addressbar... :huh: ...that's brilliant

Oh... well, good thing you can change it with gconf-editor

What is the point of that I wonder? Heh, you got the treeview to the left, so why would you need another above? Sheds more light on why it has taken 4 years to get nautilus functional. Such wasted time on useless code!

a file manager isn't necessarily a browser :P. you don't need an address bar. if you want to go to a specific location quick, just ctrl+l and type it in ;) (I actually found it quicker to click my way to it sometimes...)

When your bored with changing themes and write a new screen shot script

I guess that's why they call it browser?

nautilus --browser

...ring any bells? :P

 

That was my point...I like browser mode and use it more than spatial, yet keep the addybar and treeviw turned off until I need them, but if you have treeview on the left you don't need it on the top. So, instead of fixing the way treeview bounces around and is rarely in its properplace while browsing, they add this top thing. Cover bad code with more bad code

ripped cut out and used sed instead and added "gaim id"

:woops: that's my bad....I didn't notice that was 'Places' to the left and thought it was treeview. Nice to have so many diff ways for diff people :D

Yes that's correct, however since I use arch they bundle them all together so you get a lot of useless stuff you don't need, since it has less package maintainers it would take longer to split the packages or so they say anyway.

 

I really like what they did to nautilus it's a lot easier to browse files with now.

Well, tree view is kinda annoying the new way feels a lot cleaner.

In the end it's all about personal taste I guess...

Sure is, it's just bvc thinks he's always right. :P

 

Anyway i'll be using kde until the new gnome is stable.

I haven't had any problems, well nautilus has quit 2 or 3 times, but that's normal for devel

...and you should read before posting :P
